EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment before the first flight over Mount Everest in 1933. The image showcases Colonel PT Etherton handing over the prestigious Everest mail to the pilot of the Westland Wallace aircraft. This mail contained letters addressed to King George V, the Prince of Wales, and the Late Lady Houston. The significance of this event cannot be overstated as Scottish airmen Douglas Douglas-Hamilton, Marquis of Clydesdale, and Flight Lieutenant David McIntyre made history by becoming the first aviators to soar above Mount Everest on April 3rd, 1933. Their remarkable achievement was part of the renowned Houston Mount Everest Expedition. Transporting us back in time to witness this extraordinary feat, this photograph symbolizes success, endurance, and human achievement against all odds. It exemplifies British pioneering spirit while showcasing Scotland's contribution to aviation during that era. The monochrome aesthetic adds a sense of nostalgia and authenticity to this image from Wonders of World Aviation Vol. 1 by Clarence Winchester. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of how far air transport has come since then but also pay homage to those who paved the way for modern aviation. This print is not just an artistic representation; it encapsulates a significant milestone in history that forever changed our understanding of geographical features like Mount Everest.
